If you love amazing Italian food in hidden places you NEED to schedule the Italian food tour with Liz, PRONTO! Capeesh! This was the second time I was able to do a food tour with Liz, the first one being her original taco tour and both experiences were amazing. Unique food, things you wouldn’t necessarily try, but getting to know Liz, you just know she wouldn’t steer you wrong, so you do and it makes you think where has this been all my life! You just have to schedule a tour yourself and see what all the hype is!!!! You won’t regret it! If you are as lucky as I am, you’ll get to do more than one!!!

Our family recently enjoyed a fun and delicious Italian food tour that exceeded all expectations. From the first bite of fresh mozzarella to the final spoonful of creamy tiramisu every stop was a treat. Our guide, Rae was knowledgeable, passionate, and full of great stories that highlighted not only the food but the families behind each local gem. It was a fantastic way to experience authentic Italian flavors and culture — highly recommended for food lovers!

Perfect in every way! Liz arrived on time with a very comfortable and clean SUV. She took us to some amazing places, that even though we have lived in Naples for quite awhile, we did not know of but will return to for sure. It was a most fun experience and we plan on doing the adventure again. Highly recommended, 5 Stars!

Awesome tour! We’ve lived in Naples for four years and have never been to any of the restaurants on the tour. Elizabeth treated us to delicious food and fun. We went in style and were greeted warmly at all the restaurants. We ate and drank well, met new friends and had a blast. Highly recommend. A very fun experience. And we found new places to go enjoy. We’ve already been back to one twice!

An afternoon of fun and great food! The owner, Liz, was a fun and knowledgeable tour guide. She could answer all of our questions without the sometimes “way too much info” that we have experienced in the past. Our afternoon included several hidden gems that we would never have found without her and all the food was excellent. 5 stars!!!
